can a spouse file bankrupsey without the other spouse not knowing it?

If you have joint assets at all with a spouse, it is physically imposssible to file bankruptcy by yourself. I cannot fathom the greedy ploy that made this question possible.

I filed bankruptcy back in 98 and had to have my wife present with me when we went to see the lawyer. Make sure that you do not lie on your belongings when you do a bankruptcy if the courts find out that you have something that you did not report they will want you to pay for it. Bankruptcy sucks but so does paying credit cards that started at 7% and Jack their rates up to 24%. But at least you can feed your family. It's something you and your wife should agree on. Just don't plan on getting any more credit for about seven or eight years possibly 10. It was about 10 years before I started getting my credit back now I am at a 750 credit rating. If you have 20 or $30,000 worth credit card that and Dr. bills a bankruptcy wipes all of that out. Those are bills on a regular middle-class income and a family to feed would take you the rest your life to pay off. Sometimes bankruptcy is our only way out. Good luck

Not likely. Even if you can legally,. keeping the other spouse out of the loop will be almost impossible. Bankruptcy is a public matter and is listed in the newspapers in most places. It also depends on what property you have in joint and who your debtors are.

No, because you will have to declare all assets owned or partly owned by you , and all pecuniary interests in your spouse's, or anyone else's, assets Any assets jointly owned will be deemed as your property, and, if needed, seized as if they were your property alone.

No
